First of all, I want to merge and test your lkarmafs patch for
improved pathnname edditing, etc.  I hope I'll do it along this
week end.

On the other hand, there are some TODO issues in lkarmafs which
seem to me more interesting and short-term demanded than the
efficiency boost.  I'd add to the list the implementation of a
directory-structure display of playlists.

But most important and challenging of all things is to find a 
(simple, if possible) way to determine tune duration and set it 
upon file closing.

Solving this problem should give a definitive solution to direct
tune uploading.  Without setting the duration property, the RK
can "see" the tune and even play it, but all the manipulations
for rewind, fast-fwd, etc. are disabled.  The duration property
is the only one which is strictly missing, but getting all the
other properties from the tags would be also very interesting.

The problem is that lkarmafs (FUSE, in fact) does not have any
way to know the pathname where the tune to upload comes from.  
Moreover, a tune can arrive from a pipe or even from some
streaming port.  And I don't know of any library which provides
support for reading id3 tags (and, more importantly, determining
the tune duration) from the successive tune chunks that pass
through the lkarmafs/USB buffers.

Regards,
EV.
